Great question. The answer is N-1.
Think about doing long division. We append a 0, get another digit in the quotient, multiply and subtract to get a remainder. We can assume that remainder is not zero because then we wouldn't have a repeating decimal. At each step the remainder has to be less than N, because we're dividing by N.
So there are N-1 possibilities for the remainder. On the off chance we generate N-1 digits and N-1 remainders and none repeat, we know the next one will repeat, because we've already generated all the possible remainders.
So the largest size of the repeating portion is N-1. This maximum happens first for 1/7.

Answer:
<h2>length = 22 inches</h2><h2>width = 8 inches</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w
where
l is the length
w is the width
From the question
Perimeter = 60 in
The statement
the length of a rectangle is 6 inches more than twice it's width is written as
l = 6 + 2w
Substitute the statement into the above formula
That's
60 = 2( 6 + 2w) + 2w
60 = 12 + 4w + 2w
6w = 60 - 12
6w = 48
Divide both sides by 6
w = 8
Substitute w = 6 into l = 6 + 2w
That's
l = 6 + 2(8)
l = 6 + 16
l = 22
The dimensions are
length = 22 inches
width = 8 inches
Hope this helps you
